She's Her Father's Daughter

I don't even know what to say.....

So this will be one of the very few dessert recipes I will be posting.  Baking is in no way by any means my forte but I can make a mean creme brulee!  It is a very simple recipe and a sure crowd pleaser! (Nick and Halle)

Preheat your oven to 375

Mix 9 egg yolks and 1 cup of sugar together with a whisk.

Scald 1 quart of heavy cream. (when bubbles come up to the sides it's scalding) Stir constantly.

Gradually add scalded cream to yolk mixture stirring constantly.  

Add 31/2 tsp vanilla.  This is just too hard....

Mash up raspberries and distribute evenly into ramekins.  (my husband personally likes it better when I don't put the raspberries in... it's up to you) Put the ramekins into baking dishes.

Pour mixture into ramekins and then make a water bath by pouring water into the baking dishes about half way up to the ramekins.

Put the finished product into 375 degree oven for 35 to 45 min or until they don't jiggle like your thighs when you are done eating this!  When they are done baking take them out of the water bath and let them cool.  Then put them in the fridge for at least 3 hours...I think overnight is best.

When you are ready to serve it put a generous amount of sugar on the top and burn it with a special torch (you can buy them at any kitchen or hardware store) or broil them in the oven.  It just won't be as even.  Enjoy!

Happy Anniversary!

January 5th was Nick and I's seven year anniversary!  We are pretty proud of ourselves.  We passed  pretty much everyone in Hollywood now except for a choice few....Tim and Faith, John Travolta and Kelly Preston, Kurt and Goldie....wait they never tied the knot.  Anyways.  I took Nick to dinner at Tepanyaki (we almost didn't make it because it snowed like 10 inches that day) where they cook the food in front of you.  So yummy!  And just like our wedding day it was freezing cold.  But it was totally worth it honey!! Love you!

We are figuring this blogging thing out

 OK we are figuring this blogging thing out hopefully we can get it down we love looking at everybody's blog so we need to do it ourselves.  Here is a picture of ourselves on Yellowstone Lake "fishin" we knocked em dead! Thanks to those of you who have helped us so far with making this blog possible......you know who you are.  Anyway stay tuned more to come never a dull moment here in the Salmon household.  We have to talk ourselves up a bit cause we actually are dull......so there

So the Salmons (Jessica) finally got a computer for Christmas!  I can now feel apart of the 'cyberworld' and not be a loser.  I have no clue what Im doing whatsoever so this will be a good challenge for me.  I think mom and dad were more excited for Christmas this year than the kids!  Dad not so excited about putting toys together but so worth it on Christmas morning!  Between Halle's birthday on the 6th and Christmas she needs nothing for the next few years!  

Luckily November and December were both busy months so I have a lot to blog about and my 'readers' wont be bored. (Hopefully!)  Slick Nick and "the boys" went pheasant hunting in Nebraska for a few days and came home with a truckload of birds.  Since I dont really know how to cook pheasant- or really care to, Nick took all of the birds to the Mandarin where I work and gave them to one of the chinese cooks who LOVES them.  Hence his new bff.  Nicks other bff went with him pheasant hunting and they had a blast!
